Enclosure end cap indicators
Storwize® V3500 enclosure end cap indicators vary, depending on the generation of your control enclosure model. The enclosure indicators are on the left end cap of the enclosure and provide an overview of the enclosure status.
Labels and indicators on the enclosure left end cap provide information about the enclosure and
the enclosure status. The product name, machine type-model, serial number, and type of enclosure
(control) are shown on the Storwize V3500 left end cap.
When multiple enclosures are in a machine room or rack, the serial number is used to identify the
enclosure being referenced.
